A driver was traveling the wrong way on Interstate 275 for 1 to 2 miles before he crashed into another car, seriously injuring its passengers, Florida Highway Patrol officials say. They say the crash was alcohol-related. Officials say Ryan Suarez, 32, of St. Petersburg entered the northbound lanes of I-275 from either Kennedy Boulevard or Memorial Highway, and started driving south just after 3 a.m. Sunday. Andrew Ryan and Melissa Quick of Tampa, both 20, were driving north on the same stretch of interstate south of Kennedy Boulevard when they saw the car coming at them. Ryan swerved, but the front of Suarez's car hit the driver's side, and both cars spun out. All three survived and were transferred to Tampa General Hospital. Ryan and Quick were seriously injured, and Suarez received minor injuries. All were wearing seat belts. Florida Highway Patrol officials say charges are pending results of a blood-alcohol test.
